Płaszów (pronounced [ˈpwaʃuf]) was a Nazi German concentration camp in the southern suburb of Kraków, founded by the Nazis in Płaszów soon after the German invasion of Poland and the creation of the General Government. The construction of the camp, originally intended as a forced labour camp, began in summer 1940. Its first were homosexual prisoners. In 1941 the camp was extended and subsequently became a concentration camp with deportations of the Jews from the Kraków Ghetto beginning October 28, 1942. Commanding the camp was Amon Göth, an SS commandant from Vienna who was known for being uncommonly sadistic in his treatment of prisoners. On March 13, 1943, Göth personally oversaw the liquidation of the Kraków Ghetto, forcing its Jewish inhabitants deemed capable of work into the camp. Those deemed unfit for work were killed.

Amon Goeth was the bad guy in the movie Schindler's list apparently.

A self-portrait of Raimund Titsch, the Austrian manager of Julius Madritch's factory in Plaszow.

Titch photographed in Plaszow, but never developed his film. In 1963 he gave it all to Prof. Pfefferberg, who had the canisters processed. He was recognized by Yad Vashem as one of the "Righteous Among The Nations" for his humane treatment of Jews.

Shown in the first photo is Monika Göth standing at the rear of the house where Amon Goeth, the Commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp, lived with his mistress Ruth Irene Kalder, who was Monika's mother. This was the last of the three houses where Goeth and his mistress lived during his time at the camp.

Monika Göth was born in November 1945. Her father was executed by hanging on September 13, 1946 when Monika was 10 months old. His last words were "Heil Hitler."
According to David Crowe, in his book "Oskar Schindler," Ruth Irene Kalder had her name and her daughter's name legally changed to Göth with the help of Amon Franz Göth, Amon's father. Ruth claimed that she and Amon were engaged to be married but because of the chaos at the end of the war, the marriage was never performed. Ruth called Amon by his childhood nickname "Mony" and named her daughter Monika after him. Ruth defended Goeth until the end of her life; she said in an interview in 1983 that Goeth was no worse than the other SS men. She described him as a cultured man who had a beautiful singing voice and impeccable manners.
According to David Crowe's book, Monika spent her days riding horses and playing tennis and her evenings at lavish parties in the villa. Ruth claimed that she never went to the Plaszow concentration camp, where Amon Goeth was the Commandant.

In the background of the third photo is the rear of Amon Goeth's villa at Plaszow, where he allegedly shot prisoners in the camp with a high-powered rifle from the balcony.

The fourth photo shows Helen Sternlicht Jonas on the left and Monika on the right. In the background is the Jewish memorial stone at the site of the former Plaszow camp. Goeth had two Jewish maids, both named Helen, who lived at his villa. Helen Hirsch Horowitz, the older of the two, was the maid that was featured in the film Schindler's List.

Monika features in a documentary film entitled "Inheritance," which is about Monika Goeth's struggle to come to terms with her inheritance as the child of Nazi monster Amon Goeth.
